Choosing Recording Media
It is recommended that you use high-quality media that
correspond to the maximum speed of the optical drive. The
notebook can write or copy to CDs which provide one-time,
nonerasable recording (CD-R) or to CDs that provide erasable
recording (CD-RW).
✎
In order to write data to a CD, you must use a blank CD-R disc
or a CD-RW disc on which the format has not been finalized.
For more information about choosing media for use with the
CD creation utility, refer to the documentation included with
the utility.
Responding to the UDF Prompt
The first time you insert a CD into an optical drive, you may be
prompted to install Universal Disk Format (UDF) Reader.
UDF Reader is preinstalled on select notebook models. If
UDF Reader is installed on your notebook, a CD created with
the Drag-to-Disc application can be used in a compatible optical
drive on a computer without Drag-to-Disc, provided you select
the
Make this disc readable on any DVD-ROM drive
option
during the eject process.
